	DHAMMAPADA XXVI, 41
	Syair 423

Orang yang mengetahui semua kehidupannya yang lampau, yang dapat melihat surga dan neraka, yang telah mencapai akhir kelahiran, pandangannya bijaksana, orang suci yang sempurna, patut kusebut seorang Brahmana.

Manungsa kang ngawekani sakabehing panguripane kang wis kapungkur, kang biso weruh kahanan-kahanan swarga lan neraka, kang wis nggayuh pungkasaning kalahiran, sarta wis anggayuh kasampurnaning pepadhang, wong suci kang wis nyampurnakake sakabehing kasampurnan, ing kono dheweke patut sinebut sawijining Brahmana.

Him I call indeed a Brâhmana who knows his former abodes, who sees heaven and hell, has reached the end of births, is perfect in knowledge, a sage, and whose perfections are all perfect.
